SCI Figures Tables Writer

Core Rule

Make figures and tables self-contained, correctly numbered, and directly connected to the Results text. Do not use captions to interpret beyond the data.

Read references/source-guide.md when source-derived non-textual element rules are needed.

Workflow

1. Identify the figure/table type, variables, groups, model, sample, and statistical measures.
2. Write a concise title that names the element and main content.
3. Write a legend or note explaining abbreviations, models, confidence intervals, tests, and reference groups.
4. Add an in-text callout that highlights the key result without duplicating all values.
5. Check numbering order and consistency with manuscript sections.

Rules

• Use "Figure" and "Table" labels consistently.
• Define abbreviations in each legend or table note.
• State model adjustment level if the element displays adjusted results.
• Include units and statistical measures.
• Avoid interpreting mechanisms or implications in captions.

Output Format

Provide:

1. Figure/table title
2. Legend or table note
3. Suggested in-text callout
4. Items to verify
